Introduction

HGTDPyAna is an analysis framework used to reconstruct the HGTD test beam data recordered by the oscilloscopes. It was used for HGTD test beam the paper. The code can be found in the following svn repository and will be migrating to git soon. The framework takes as inputs the raw oscilloscope data (the .dat files containing the actual data and .txt containing the metadata). The ouput is a root file containing a tree containing various variable for each event and each channels.

Ntuples

Where to find them?

The Ntuples can be found on eos at: YYYYY

The latest recommended version is: XXXXX

What is the content?

The variables that can be found in the trees are:

Branch Name variable comments
pulseHeight maximum of the pulse amplitude  
timeCFD time reconstruction with a Constant Fraction Discriminator was named timeCFD1 in previous versions
timeCTD time reconstruction with a Constant Threshold Discriminator was named timeFTD in previous versions
timeZCD time reconstruction with a Zero Crossing Discriminator was named timeCFD2 in previous versions
timeAtMax time at wich the amplitude is maximal  
pedestal pedestal  
noise noise  
charge integral of the pulse divided by the transimpedance  
jitter N/(dV/dt)  
riseTime1090 RiseTime computed from 10% to 90% of the maximum amplitude  

Each branch is a vector containing an entry for each channel. More information on these variables can be found in the HGTD test beam (paper).

How to run the code?

Getting and setuping the code 

#check out
svn co svn+ssh://svn.cern.ch/reps/atlasgroups/Detectors/LAr/HGTD/Oct16TB/Analysis/trunk Analysis
cd Analysis   
#setup
source mysetup.sh

Options

option explanation
--runNumber Run number
--inputDir Input directory (not EOS!!!)
--outputDir Output directory
--maxEvent Nb of events analyzed
--skipEvent Nb of events skipped
--CTDThres Threshold for the CTD method in mV
--CFDFrac CFD and ZCD fraction
--ZCDDelay ZCD delay
--drawPulse Draw the pulse for each pulse and each event
--debug print more information
--filename input filename
--nChannels number of channels

Usage (example) 



#You can run on a subsample:
python python/ana.py --inputDir /afs/cern.ch/work/m/makovec/public/Data/TESTBEAM/ -r 1478044194  --maxEvent 1000

#You can also directly specify the filename instead of the inputdir and the run number
python  python/ana.py -f /data/atlas/HGTD/TestBeam/June2017/data_1498858885.dat
   
#If a run is not added to one of the database files (Database/RunInfo*dat), you will have to specify the number of channels
python python/ana.py --debug -f /afs/cern.ch/work/m/makovec/public/Data/TESTBEAM/data_1478044194.dat --nChannels 4 --maxEvent 1000
python python/ana.py --debug -f /afs/cern.ch/work/m/makovec/public/Data/TESTBEAM/data_1498858885.dat --nChannels 3 --maxEvent 100
